A member asked:

Is it normal for knee to pop 6 weeks after meniscus surgery?

Dr. Richard Popowitz answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

No: Painful popping is concerning and needs a repeat evaluation by your surgeon. Non painful popping or crepitus is normal phenomena and is not concerning at all.
